So I got the ladder bug three times on the same ladder last night. I couldn't be sure it wasn't a lag spike.
Shame there's nothing about that in there.

So a buff literally only to rangers then. Since practically every other TWFer aint going to have the free feat slot to piss away.

It does NOT help handwrap monks. I know someone who tested on Lam.


Did your friend test if this was directly tied to handwraps or monks?

Assuming it works with handwraps, I could see possibly running the evasion in primal and light armor on a Razorclaw shifter.

The nerfed THF too.  Cut stat add to damage by 50%.

Wait, so STR is now a dump stat for THF Barbarians?  Good, that makes sense.  I was worried that they had finally worked out a way for THF to be viable, but fortunately we are going back to the days when EVERY dps build was TWF.

The question, originally raised on the DDO Forums, was whether the new TWD feat would add 5 PRR and 10 to the MRR cap of Monks using handwraps? The answer was a definite, "No."

It's ~45 base dmg per hit less on a 100 strength toon. Pretty significant.

It's actually about 7.5 points less damage.

100 STR = +45 damage modifier.

The nerf reduces the extra damage from THF from +300% in Epic levels to +250% damage.

The higher your STR modifier, the more you will notice it, though.

Maybe I misunderstood. Here's what I see:


https://ddowiki.com/page/Two_Handed_Fighting

GTHF grants 3X ability modifier. So, 100 STR mod would be 45*3= 135 damage


The new proposal: https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/521626-U48-4-Preview-1-Balance-Changes...

= 1+25% per feat * 4 feats =200% total?

So, a 100 str toon would have a 45 mod *2=90


=~45 dmg reduction.



What am I missing?

It's 250% in Epics, not 200%.

https://www.ddo.com/forums/showthread.php/521626-U48-4-Preview-1-Balance-Changes...

Hang on...it's about a 22.5 points of damage loss, not 7.5

I are dumb.

Ok. If that's true, then it's not so bad. Still significant. But, I don't mind the basic idea of THF=aoe while twf = higher single target.

So um,  this patch notes has me looking at all the new goodies that came in Feywild a little closer as I plan out my next lives. 

What is the point of shifter rages and their benefit to unarmed damage?  From reading about shifters, don't they become uncentered if they shifter rage and then lose centering?

Sorry the talk about monks got me off topic a bit and I'm just not seeing the point of what they made.

FYI...Cetus made an interesting post on this subject.

Lately I can barely manage to play 2 hours before I'm not interested anymore.  I'm thinking if this update goes live, my interests will fall even more.

I think its weird that cetus uses this whole weird metaphor about economic classes and taxation to justify a retarded nerf. Sounds like a vault conversation.

So, for people smarter than me (which is admittedly a lot) and who are ok playing DPS casters at end game (R10), if these changes go through as planned what’s going to replace alchemist and sorc?

I'm guessing short-manning.

Seriously.

If the nukers were doing anything useful in R10 before they aren't going to be now. I guess the sorcs who really want to can respec into CC casters. Or they can do what I do and just tag along ineffectually.

Well, given that ddo isn't competitive, the analogy is decent. The masses are mad that such and such leet player can do better than them. So, the devs are trying to socialize the classes.
